The United States of America found in the former transitional president, Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi, and his situation after transferring his authority to the Presidential Leadership Council on the seventh of this April, an opportunity to blackmail the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and force it to support it to find effectiveness in its sanctions imposed on Russia due to its war on Ukraine.

And the American newspaper, "The Wall Street Journal", said on Sunday that the Saudi authorities had put pressure on Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi to force him to step down from power.

According to a report in the newspaper, Riyadh pushed Hadi to step down and Saudi security authorities largely detained him at his Riyadh home, restricting communications with him in the days that followed, according to Saudi and Yemeni officials.

The publication of this news comes at a time when the Saudi-American relations are witnessing a noticeable tension after the former refused to increase its oil production to cover the deficit caused by the ban on Russian oil exports as part of the sanctions imposed on it due to its war on Ukraine.

Moreover, Saudi Arabia threatened to reduce its production against the backdrop of the terrorist attacks launched by the Houthi militias on oil facilities last March, which caused great damage.

Political and other government sources told (NewsYemen) that the information published by the American newspaper came from Yemeni officials belonging to the Brotherhood, which was in control of the legitimacy decision until the seventh of this month, when General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar was ousted from the position of Vice President of the Republic, and Hadi stepped down after transferring  His full powers are transferred to the Presidential Leadership Council headed by Major General Rashad Al-Alimi.

The sources did not rule out the involvement of what has become known as the "Muscat cell" in leaking this information, especially since the political changes made by the Arab coalition put an end to the control of the Islah Party, the local branch of the Brotherhood, over legitimacy and its division among the various components, especially those on the ground.

The United States of America used the human rights file to blackmail Saudi Arabia, the latest of which was the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, which put Saudi Arabia in great predicaments and made it vulnerable to American blackmail for more than a year and forced it to sign billions of dollars in arms purchases.

Local observers believe that the United States may use the position of former President Hadi to blackmail Saudi Arabia with the support and support of the Brotherhood movement loyal to Qatar and Turkey, which has lost its interests with the recent political changes that were supported by local political, civil and social forces and welcomed by the region, the region and the world.
